Region 4 Future Stars Qualifier & Boys Clinic at TCT

TCT was host to 18 Future Stars competitors and over 80 boys from around Region 4. October 18-20.  States represented over the weekend were MN, SD, ND, WI, IA & NB.

On Friday 18 boys were judged on 9 routines by some amazing judges including Brian Meeker (MN), National Team Coach Chuck Chmelka (NB), Dave Contreras 9 (NB) and Aaron Fortunato (MN).

Several of the boys were trying to qualify to Future Stars National Championships at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Spring, CO this November.  Among those who made it was TCT's Ethan Cox.  This will be Ethan's third time qualifying to Future Stars Nationals.

The Clinic

With the large number of gymnasts at the clinic the boys were split into 7 groups (6 events and trampoline).  There were many coaches who came to work with the boys on the events as well as several University of Minnesota Gopher gymnasts.  The workout portion of the clinic was over 5 hours long and the guys all had a great time!

The clinic was also used to evaluate the 30+ Level 10 boys and select a team for the upcoming Elite Team Cup this season.  Coaches on the selection committee had there work cut out for them as there were many impressive gymnastics aiming for a spot on the team.

Meet & Greet with World Championships Team Members

At the conclusion of Saturday's training the entire group had a meet and greet with World Team Member Shane Wiskis and World Team Gold Medalist Grace McCallum.

The gymnasts had a good time asking questions and hearing how Grace and Shane experiences World Championships differently.

Shane and Grace stayed a bit longer and signed autographs for all who wanted. 

A big thanks to them for taking the time to meet the group.
